I downloaded and compiled the 2.6.10 source, including some DVB drivers.
My boot parition is an LVM2 partition, /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00.
I am able to reboot from this parition under the 2.6.10-1.766FC3 kernel and
the 2.6.9-1.667FC3 kernels. But under my 2.6.10 kernel (2.6.10-mythtv) I get
errors with the device mapper finding any logical paritions in the LVM
parition.
grub.conf reads:
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd1,1)/grub/splash.xpm.gz

Do I need to build my initrd*.img with LVM2 support? I thought it is already
provided in mkinitrd-4.1.18-2.
Any clues would be appreciated. Thanks,
